If I could give the clinic zero stars, I definitely would…read more I was billed for services I absolutely did not receive. That alone is what led me to speak up. From there, I encountered other serious concerns including how my care was handled, how questions were received, and how referrals were managed. When I started advocating for myself, I was met with resistance instead of support and was eventually cut off from care with no formal explanation or help transitioning elsewhere. I also found both Dr. Meghan Dillman and Richard Dillman to be unprofessional in their communication and conduct. As a patient, I felt dismissed, uncomfortable, and at times pressured in ways that did not feel appropriate for a healthcare setting. From what I observed, the clinic appears to be shifting away from full-scope family-focused care and leaning more into elective out-of-pocket cosmetic procedures. If you are looking for a genuine family-centered clinic that prioritizes long-term care and patient trust, I would recommend looking elsewhere. I am sharing this so others can make informed decisions and feel confident advocating for themselves.

What an amazing clinic. They have everything worked out to make sure that the patients have the…read morebest possible care. This is a CITY, not just a CLINIC. It would be possible to stay comfortably all day every day. And if walking is an issue, they have wheelchairs with transporters who will take you anywhere inside this clinic city. And all requests are welcomed and made available. From several eating places (btw the main restaurant has robots deliver your order to your table) very nice MAYO shop with everything you thought you needed. A RELAX room where you can recline for as long as you need to recharge and recharge your phone as well as well as a number of computers and printers available to patients. An in-house pharmacy. Lots of private restrooms. A museum that shows how the brothers Mayo started 150 years ago. Constant growing is obvious with construction of several more buildings. I am still in awe and I've only been to one of several Mayo buildings Almost forgot... there are dozens of shuttle busses that take you to Mayo and hotels. I guess the only downside is that one has to stay at a hotel that is costly.

My experience at Mayo Clinic in Rochester has profoundly changed my understanding of what excellent…read moremedical care can look like. I came to Mayo during an extraordinarily difficult period of my life, facing both extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) and breast cancer after having already been through a brain tumor. I was frightened, exhausted, and trying to navigate multiple specialists and major decisions at once. One of the most important reasons I sought care at Mayo was its highly specialized experience treating EMPD, an extremely rare cancer for which expertise and surgical technique matter enormously. Before coming to Mayo, the options available to me locally were very different. I had been counseled toward wide local excision and came away believing that I should expect recurrence and potentially a devastating long-term prognosis. No one in my area could offer me the highly specialized, multidisciplinary, margin-controlled approach Mayo has developed for this disease. When I researched Mayo's outcomes, I discovered something that gave me hope for the first time: Mayo physicians have helped study a Mohs approach using CK-7 immunostaining in which only 2.3% of primary EMPD tumors in that published series had a local recurrence -- meaning 97.7% had no observed local recurrence. Mayo has continued to refine this approach specifically for female genital EMPD through collaboration among Mohs surgery, gynecologic oncology, plastic surgery, and other specialties when needed. That expertise is ultimately what brought me to Rochester. My own EMPD surgery required an extraordinarily long Mohs procedure, followed by reconstruction, but my team continued until I had completely clear margins. Hearing that I had 100% clear margins after everything I had feared remains one of the most meaningful moments of my life. What distinguished Mayo, however, was not simply the expertise of individual physicians, although that expertise was extraordinary. It was the way the entire system worked together around me. Dermatologic surgery, gynecologic oncology, plastic surgery, breast surgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology, advanced practice providers, and coordinating physicians communicated in a way that made complicated care feel organized rather than fragmented. I repeatedly experienced specialists who understood not only their particular portion of my treatment, but also what I had already endured and what the next member of the team needed to know. Just as importantly, I was treated like a person. My physicians and advanced practice providers took time to educate me, answer questions, respect my decisions, and acknowledge the emotional burden of multiple serious diagnoses. Several called me personally with results or updates. Others sat with me, held my hand before surgery, shared humor or pieces of their own lives, and made frightening experiences feel human and manageable. My breast cancer was treated with a breast-conserving approach that preserved far more than I had expected physically and emotionally. Throughout both cancers, I felt that the people caring for me were thoughtful about not only eliminating disease, but also preserving quality of life, dignity, function, and my ability to make informed decisions about my own body. I have repeatedly found myself thinking that somehow the exact person I needed appeared at the exact moment I needed them. Mayo gave me something I had been struggling to find elsewhere: a genuine sense of safety in medical care. I arrived frightened about what these diagnoses might mean for the rest of my life. I left knowing that I had received care from people who had devoted significant expertise to understanding diseases as rare as mine and who were willing to work across specialties to give me the best outcome they could. I am profoundly grateful for the expertise, compassion, interdisciplinary collaboration, and humanity I experienced there. Mayo Clinic has earned my deepest trust.

When we moved to the Woodbury area a couple of years ago, we had to start with a whole new doctor's…read moreoffice. After doctor shopping for about six months, we found that we really liked the HealthEast Woodbury clinic. The doctors and other practitioners are great, for the most part, the clinic is kept very clean and as a patient, you can almost always get same day appointments provided you call in when the appointment line opens at 7:00 am. The only problem I've had so far is the fact that if you or your children are having a checkup/physical, many times, the receptionists won't take a co-pay just in case your particular insurance plan doesn't require one for preventative care. Unfortunately for my family, our insurance makes us pay a co-pay for every appointment, no matter what our reason is for coming in. These unpaid co-pays can add up quickly with two young children and it is rare if I get an actual bill for them and they are soon forgotten. Fast forward to nearly a year later and I get a bill for 3 co-pays that are about to be put into collections. I don't mind having to pay the $60 but I would have liked to have been told before it was at risk of going onto my credit report. The last few checkups we've had have, we have paid a co-pay before seeing a doctor, as we should have from the beginning. Perhaps, their SOP has changed recently or they finally understand that my insurance requires a co-pay for everything. Just make sure that all of your billing stuff is taken care of as we weren't told about any outstanding balance for almost a year, not even when we came in for appointments or called to schedule one. Overall, the HealthEast Woodbury clinic is a convenient, well run clinic. Over the past two years, we've developed a great relationship with our doctors... they even go out of their way to remember things about our family. It's been a generally good experience. Everyone there is just so great. One more tip: come to your appointment maybe 5-10 minutes earlier than you typically would just in case there isn't any parking in the clinic lot and you have to park at the hospital. There is a free valet at the hospital but you'll still have to walk through the hospital to get to the clinic, also just because the valet is free, doesn't mean you don't have to tip. It is pretty embarrassing to have to dig through your car to tip the valet driver in quarters and dimes if you don't carry much cash like me and you don't want to be the yahoo who doesn't tip. So if you don't have money for a tip, park in the hospital lot.

On 1/12/2026 at 6:45am I was supposed to have a doctor appointment with Anthony James Christnovich…read more This was supposed to be a Neurology appointment. To my surprise after driving around for well over 45 minutes not finding this supposed building assuming it clearly doesn't exist. I had even stopped into woodwinds hospital just to be told that I need to drive around to the other side of the building. Because the "renta cops" there could not help me. They refuse to walk me to neurology. Needless to say, I never found this "1875 Woodwinds" address. It CLEARLY doesn't exist! This appointment was made 5 months ago. I'd like to know why the hell I was never notified that this building / address is not in existence! I better NOT be getting charged for this appointment either - because that won't be getting paid! Unprofessionalism is completely ridiculous! (even stopping inside SEVERAL nearby businesses, asking for directions) So apparently I just have to continue living in pain and agony with my feet. Feeling like I'm always walking on hot broken glass, puffiness, redness, hotness and falling and being off balance constantly. Oftentimes I even have to walk and use a cane to stabilize myself enough to balance to even try to walk. So apparently I just have to live with all of this pain because there is no doctor that is able to correct this or help me.

If you live in the Lakeville, Eagan or Burnsville area and are looking for the best primary doctor…read moreyou can find, Dr. Thadepalli is as good as it gets. Until this past year, I've enjoyed good health, but suddenly suffered a myriad of symptoms that I saw two primary care doctors, both of whom left their practices, leaving me undiagnosed. I had so many symptoms that came on so suddenly, I was unable to work for the first time in my life and I dreaded going to yet another doctor. I feared I'd be mistaken for a hypochondriac or worse, but Dr. Thadepalli listened to me and asked questions as I talked, almost as if he'd been reading my (non-existent) diary. Dr. Thadepalli quickly diagnosed me, making me comfortable that the treatment plan he prescribed would address my health issues step by step until I was back to my old self. He had me see some wonderful specialists, knowing just who to send me for compassionate, expert care. Dr. Thadepalli made me feel that he would not be satisfied until I was not just better, but thriving. He took his time with me, listened carefully, demonstrated a high level of expertise and went to bat for me twice: once with my health insurance regarding medication coverage and the second time, with my short-term disability carrier, without my even asking. I know for a fact that he worked late into the evening on a couple of occasions to tirelessly advocate for me, which I am eternally grateful for. Now, I am almost back to my former self and just wanted to advocate for him. Thanks to Dr. Thadepalli, I didn't lose my job and my husband has his wife back and our children have the old me back again. Dr. Thadepalli, I know how hard you've worked for me and know that you bring dedication and championship to patients when it just seems too much to go on. I want you to know how much I appreciate it these several months later. My husband, son Jon and I will all be seeing you this new year for all of our health care needs. Thank you for all of your advocacy and championship and for believing things would get better at a time I'd lost hope. You are a treasure.
